Requesting GMAT quant tutor [#permalink] New post   12 Mar 2016, 13:45
I am seeking a paid GMAT tutor via Skype who can address the breadth of tested quant while also challenging me to tackle the depth of the material. My goal is to score a 720 on the GMAT and math is by far my biggest challenge. I am very determined, so I don't really care how long it takes to get me to that score. This will likely be a long term partnership. Anyone interested?

Hi raeann105,

Before you go spending a lot of money on a tutor, it would help to know a bit more about your studies so far. It's possible that you don't actually need a tutor.

1) How long have you studied?
2) What materials have you used?
3) How have you scored on each of your practice CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?

4) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

EMPOWERgmatRichC I have been "studying" since 2014. I took my first GMAT then as well and scored an abysmal 490. I've been studying mostly math ever since then, trying to improve my math score. I downloaded all of the Manhattan GMAT quant books and was on GMAT club practicing problems religiously. However, I did not take any practice tests, which may be one of my problems.

Yesterday I realized I needed some structure to hone-in on my weak areas and test-taking skills -- I decided to pay for an online program. Coincidentally the program is your EmpowerGMAT. The price point was good and hopefully will provide the structure I need. This morning, I took a practice test and scored a 580. Improvement! V -36, Quant -34. I see this journey as a marathon rather than a sprint!

I haven't planned when I will take the GMAT yet, but I'm hoping I can get where I want to be by August. Based on what I have going on at work, I will probably apply in 2018 for entry in 2019, so I have time. However, overcoming the GMAT hurdle has been a goal of mine for years and would like to put it behind me!

Hi raeann105,

You've given yourself plenty of time to study for the GMAT and apply to Business School, which is great - all of that extra time should help to alleviate some of the pressure that you might feel if you were on a much tighter deadline. That all having been said, it's important that you stick with a consistent study routine for the next few months and not take an "I'll study when I can" mindset.

If we were to look at your recent 580 as a 'baseline score', then you'd be a good position to accomplish your overall score goals. The national average on the Official GMAT hovers around 540-550 most years, so your prior studies have clearly helped you to establish a solid foundation. From here on, you should be open to learning and practicing the proper Tactics that will help to raise your scores even higher.

If you have any questions during any part of this process, then you can feel free to contact me directly.
